Gauges

I am getting ready to install new 12v sending unit in gas tank that came with the gauges i bought from dolphin. The tank has a 6 bolt pattern and the sending unit has a 5 bolt pattern. Does anyone know if there is an adapter available or a different sending unit that would bolt to existing tank and still work with the new gauge.

Thanks

Mid fifty sells an adapter, from a 5 bolt to a 6 bolt, PN#1605ADPT $18.00 I'd call and make sure it fits what you have, but it sounds like it might. Mid Fifty 1-800-252-1956
